As the search for the missing MH370 restarts in the southern Indian Ocean, the head of Emirates has cast doubt on the official line that it flew on autopilot before crashing into the sea.
Sir Tim Clark believes the pilot of MH370 was in control throughout the flight and questions whether the flight data has been analyzed accurately.
"MH370 was, in my opinion, under control, probably until the very end, and our experience tells us that in water incidents, where the aircraft has gone down, there is always something," Clark said.
"We have not seen a single thing that suggests categorically that this aircraft is where they say it is, apart from this so-called electronic satellite ‘handshake’, which I question as well," he added.
He said he was ‘totally dissatisfied’ with any real evidence to point to the Indian Ocean as its final resting place and has urged authorities to look at the flight data again.
Every single second of that flight needs to be examined up until it, theoretically, ended up in the Indian Ocean for which they still haven’t found a trace, not even a seat cushion," he said.
There was not a single airplane crash at sea in modern times that was not ‘at least 5 or 10% trackable’, he added, and he is not convinced that the satellite tracking system could have been disabled mid-flight by the pilot.
